Video at the link – and no, that’s not particularly out of context, either. I’ll be honest; I don’t buy into the absolute moral authority argument. But a large section of the antiwar movement did, and so I’d like to hear them either a). admit that it was all hypocritical BS on their part; or b). start savaging Hillary Clinton just as viciously as they tried to savage George W. Bush. Either will suit, really. Because, again: under the Left’s own rules this woman absolutely must be answered. Not my rules: the Left’s. I expect the antiwar Left to live by its own moral code, even if it can’t live by a mainstream one…

PS: Winding up Cindy Sheehan all those years ago and releasing her in the direction of George W Bush – all to try to win a Presidential election – was pretty contemptible. Just wanted to remind people.

The Left has just one rule, and it is “Just win, baby”.
Cindy Sheehan was a handy club to hit Bush with. No more, no less. Few things would have made them happier than her dying while staging a hunger strike.

Cynical, yes. But is my take cynical enough?

As long as no one is forcing Pat Smith to say these things, I honestly don’t have a problem. Cindy Sheehan was detestable to say the least, but she had every right to say whatever she wanted.

There is a difference between the two: One was killed in combat. One was murder in a terrorist attack. I don’t know, but I think one mother has more of a right to be outraged.
